I've been tempted to put it on mute. Melanie Newman likes to over pronounce the player's names. 

Especially during home run calls.

Yea her butchering of Urías is brutal.  It’s “ew” not “err” and you don’t roll “r’s” unless there are two R’s or the word begins with R.

I don’t recall her doing it as much as she has done tonight.

You can tell she's super proud of her ability to pronounce the Latino player names.

If only she could accurately describe what's happening on the field

I hadn't heard Newman too much. I now understand better the comments I've read. She just can't stop talking, whether or not she has anything to say.

I’m in same boat. I’d seen criticisms on this board and thought it had to be an over exaggeration.  Nope.

For me, everything she says just feels scripted. I know they read a lot of stats and facts during the game, but with her, it just seems more noticeable.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

You really shouldn't.  On the future schedule, we already have an off day with a Fenway Boston rainout makeup wedged into it between two series with other different teams, and another four day Fenway series that could look as ugly as this one is planned to be if it has makeup double headers wedged into it.

I guess you're saying the O's can take their beating now or later, or probably both.

One thing at a time.

That's the weird thing when I've heard her on radio she's doesn't butcher the player's names like this. Maybe she brings her "A" game for Apple TV broadcasts.

I know. It’s like it’s for show.

I was indifferent on Newman, but that's changed after watching tonight's broadcast.
